My family and I went to the midnight showing and watched in 3D Imax. With LOTR being my favorite movie series of all time it was going to be tough for Peter Jackson to top that with The Hobbit series. First, I must say that the actor who played Bilbo was an excellent choice. He made the movie very entertaining for me. Actually both young and the older Bilbo were both well casted. The cinematography drew you into the screen and made you feel like you were in the story with them. All the dwarfs were well type casted as well. I would have to say the first 30 minutes did seem to drag on quite a bet but once it got going I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Great acting and non-stop action kept me engrossed through the whole movie. Can't wait to go see it again and again! Great job Peter Jackson! I am looking forward to next part in the series.
